Four key drivers behind copper’s growth opportunity

Copper is becoming increasingly important to the global economy as electrification, renewable energy infrastructure and artificial intelligence drive demand higher.

However, supply is struggling to keep pace. Long development timelines for new mines, declining ore grades and rising demand are creating potential supply constraints.

Sprott Pure Play Copper Miners UCITS ETF (CPPR) provides ESG exposure to copper miners.

Copper is a raw material that is essential to the transition to a less carbon-intensive economy. Copper is critical for the energy transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources and technologies, and for the purpose of this index includes copper producers, developers and explorers.

The copper miners ETF tracks the Nasdaq Sprott Copper Miners Screened Index (NSCOPE), which is designed to track the performance of a selection of securities in the copper industry.
